Chapter 219: New Products at the End of the Year?
As far as Chen Zifan knows, the occupancy rate of the staff rooms promised by Miss Dong is very low until 2022, and thousands of rooms are really a drop in the bucket for the number of Gree's employees of more than 100,000.
However, this kind of thing can't be completely blamed on Miss Dong, she does paint cakes a bit big, except for Chen Zifan, there are really few companies in the world that can make their employees have enough rooms.
Later, under the siege of Midea, Supor and other brands, it was even more impossible for Gree, which had lost a certain market position, to do it, and the promised good employee benefits could only become a bubble in the end.
What about other companies Chen Zifan doesn't pay too much attention to it at present, the emergence of Stardust Technology has already changed the original historical trajectory, and some companies that originally lived to the future have even been unable to bear the fall.
Chen Zifan doesn't have time to care about those who don't have it now, the mass production of Stardust notebooks has entered a critical stage, and the batch of workloads is large, not only the CPU and system need a lot of people to test, but even the design of the packaging box has gone through four or five waste cases.
In order to reflect the ultimate "lightness" and "thinness" of the Stardust notebook, its packaging box was also developed in this direction when it was designed, but because it was too light and thin, its power adapter and charging cable were a little unable to fit.
Some cadres also proposed to Chen Zifan:
"Either we can just cancel the power adapter or pack it separately!" Anyway, the fast charging technology used in Stardust laptops and the same on Stardust mobile phones..."
At that time, Chen Zifan was shocked.
What? Cancel the power adapter?
How can this work!
In that year, the 3.5 headphone jack was canceled, one was for the heat, the second was to increase the sense of quality, and the third was to increase the sales of Bluetooth headsets.
What's going on now?
Ditch the charger just for the box?
With the current size and influence of Stardust Technology, even if he really did this, Chen Zifan felt that there would be nothing wrong, but this was contrary to his original intention.
As a last resort, Chen Zifan had no choice but to go out in person, and extracted some more advanced metal material technology and lightweight technology from [Stardust Technology], making the power adapter of the Stardust notebook 37% smaller.
The wire of the charging cable has also been newly designed, at least once it is taken out, it will not make people think that it is a cheap product, Chen Zifan is still very pursuing at this point, he will not castrate his products.
Neither will castration in the dark.
Many brands of products like to increase the light and cut the dark,For example, OPPO's own 65 power adapter and the 67 power adapter in the industrial chain,It sounds like the latter has more2,In fact, when used,Both the texture of the power adapter and the charging speed are not as good as the former。
Sometimes you can make a lot of money by thinking differently, but there's more to the world than just making money.
And stubborn, persistent people...
The new packaging box of the Stardust notebook was successfully put into the box under the premise of reducing the size of the power adapter, which is indeed not as small and exquisite as expected, but it is already amazing compared to products of the same type.
All that remains is to continue to optimize the PC version of Stardust OS, and other work is also progressing steadily, such as the application of air charging technology.
But these things are not so urgent, they don't have to be in a hurry at the end of the year, Stardust 3, Stardust 3+ and other products are not so fast and weak, if Stardust Technology does not make a move, they will have no problem holding on for another two years.
Chen Zifan is now thinking about whether the Stardust Notebook should test the water in a wave before the Spring Festival?
It stands to reason that it is most appropriate to place the release of laptops before and after the college entrance examination, because prospective college students or college students will always find all kinds of reasons to buy a laptop (provided that they have money).
But it is necessary to take into account that the laptop prepared now is a thin and light notebook, even if the energy consumption ratio of the Shengong generation of Stardust Technology is very good, after the excessive pursuit of light and thin, its performance will not be very strong.
If placed next year's
Speech...
Don't forget that there is also a graphics card being tested in the Changhe chip project, which is expected to be completed in early March next year, and Chen Zifan can derive new products such as all-round laptops and high-performance laptops (game laptops) on the basis of Shengong generation CPUs and graphics cards.
In fact, he's just going to do it.
Compared with Stardust Technology's first PC product, the significance of self-developed CPU and graphics card will be more significant.
On December 1st, Xinghan Zhixing, Xinghan OTO, and Polestar Auto's new cars will be released soon, although the Stardust notebook does not belong to the same type of products as them, but it will also stagger the peak period of popularity as much as possible, and it is best to choose between December 15 ~ 31, and it can also rush sales.
If it is placed in January next year, there will be New Year's Day, Spring Festival, Lantern Festival... The marketing effect will be greatly reduced, unless Chen Zifan can replace the few products that are ready to be advertised in the Spring Festival Gala with Stardust notebooks.
But this is clearly impossible.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Zifan was just about to explain the next work to Zhao Wuxian, but he received the news that Wang Jinli was preparing to return to China next week.
By the way, he also sued a wave of Wang Jinli's case:
"Chen Dong, don't you know, our Wang always calls him a chic person abroad, and every day he either kicks on his side, or on the way to kick his party, he still hugs left and right, and he hugs all foreign girls! Yesterday, he told me that he had gained more than a dozen pounds, and that he was looking for something to do for his health..."
d!
Labor and management are almost tired in the head office, and as a result, you are chic abroad? You have to sanction it!
Chen Zifan was a little puzzled:
"How did I not know?"
When Zhao Wuxian heard this, he immediately pretended to be helpless: "Ah, Mr. Wang blocked your circle of friends."
Chen Zifan: ......
What the hell!?
Zhao Wuxian took out his mobile phone and showed it to him, he immediately couldn't bear it, the work that originally belonged to Zhao Wuxian was decisively assigned to Wang Jinli, anyway, there is still a period of time, and the notebook can be marketed half a month in advance.
At the same time, Chen Zifan also noticed one thing, the emergence of mobile payment once again brought up WeChat, which is not a complete body, according to the data on the surface, the number of registered WeChat has been close to 50% of the deduction.
In no more than two years, the number of users of WeChat is likely to be flat or even surpassed.
The work group of many companies has also shifted from the buckle camp to the WeChat camp, which is the power of financial attributes, of course, since the situation has developed to this extent, Chen Zifan will not intervene.
The mobile payment scheme he proposed at the beginning was originally a bit idealistic, not that it couldn't be realized, but that that method required a strong hardware foundation, and Stardust Technology's existing products couldn't do that.
If you force it, it will lead to a disconnect between the top and bottom... So letting the bullets fly for a while is the best option.
Wang Jinli never expected that he had just returned to China and had a big meal to catch the wind and wash the dust, and he would go to work the next day, and he was also responsible for a brand-new product, and even handed over the press conference to him to host on stage.
He also has a certain understanding of the stardust notebook, but it is the first time he has really seen the real thing, the texture and workmanship of the stardust notebook are within his expectation, and the degree of refinement is a bit beyond expectations, not to mention anything else, with this appearance, the sales of the stardust notebook will not be bad.
Even if its CPU is just a chunk of shit!
Obviously,Stardust notebook is not a kind of goods,It really has strength,The measured data of Shengong CPU is already comparable to the level of mainstream manufacturers,The new Stardust OS can beat the current indos in terms of perception。
And in these years, many people can't even use genuine indos, they still use the XP version, and the mold is even more stretched to the point that it can't be done, with large plastics, huge and heavy, and the weight of five or six catties is really not good.
Not to mention product performance.
As long as it can be used, it is still far from being easy to use.
There is only one problem that bothers Wang Jinli now:
"What's the name of the notebook?"
He chose the release time on December 22, the day of the winter solstice, and it was actually okay to do it earlier, but Stardust OS is still a little bit of progress away, and he has to set aside half a month to a month for production, stocking, transportation, etc.
You can't always release a new product, and the production capacity can't keep up, right? This is not in line with the consistent style of Stardust Technology.
However, at the end of the year, it is indeed not the peak sales season for laptops, and so on after the release of the product, the word of mouth ferments for a period of time, and after June next year, it is the real power cycle of the Stardust notebook, taking advantage of this time, Wang Jinli also studied several new cars by the way.
His next stage goal is to get Xingchen Technology's new energy vehicles into the international market, and besides, new energy vehicles will definitely not be the mainstream abroad, but there should be no problem in making a profit.
On November 30, Yang Zhirong held an online and offline synchronous new product launch conference in Haicheng, and also rented the venue of Xinghai Driving School to give people a test drive, and the conference was also released there.
